Market Analysis and Size

The medications used to treat problems of the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra are known as genitourinary drugs. Patients suffering from diseases and infections of the genitourinary system have long relied on chemically manufactured steroids and immunosuppressants, which can cause major side effects such as sleeplessness, acne, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. As a result, patients are increasingly turning to biological medications, which have fewer or no adverse effects and are more successful in treating genitourinary infections. Urine pH can induce or worsen certain illnesses, the most common of which is urolithiasis. The use of medicines that alter urine pH is frequently recommended in the treatment and prevention of such disorders.

Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Urinary pH modifiers are substances that raise urine's pH. They make urine more alkaline, which helps to prevent kidney stones. Making urine more alkaline aids the kidneys in the removal of toxins. The various types of urinary pH modifiers employed in the treatment of genitourinary disorders include potassium acid phosphate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium citrate, and potassium citrate.

Urinary pH Modifiers Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing prevalence of renal failure

The rising prevalence of renal failure is anticipated to influence the urinary pH modifiers? market's growth. Kidney stones are a prevalent condition, with an annual incidence of eight cases per 1,000 people, according to Leonardo Ferreira of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) in March 2020. According to the same source, around 13% of men and 7% of women will develop a kidney stone over their lifetime, with a total incidence of urinary retention in the United States ranging from 4.5 to 6.8% per 1,000 males.

• Rising prevalence of diabetes

The increasing prevalence of diabetes is expected to flourish the market’s growth rate during the forecast period of 2022-2029. Patients with diabetes are particularly vulnerable to urinary tract infections. Due to the narrow length of the urethra, which allows bacteria to enter more easily, women are more susceptible to this disease. According to the International Diabetes Federation, the global prevalence of diabetes is expected to rise to 552 million by 2030, up from 366 million in 2011. The rising prevalence of diabetes is expected to increase demand for genitourinary medications in the coming years. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) infect more than 150 million individuals worldwide each year, costing the healthcare system about USD 6 billion in direct costs. Bladder cancer affects approximately 2.4 percent of women and men at some point in their lives.

Furthermore, rising initiatives by public and private organizations to spread awareness will expand the urinary pH modifiers? market. Additionally, rising level of governmental funding towards healthcare and surging level of disposable income will result in the expansion of urinary pH modifiers? market. Along with this, rising frequency of cancer and increasing geriatric population will enhance the growth rate of the market.

Opportunities

• Increase in the number of product launches

During the forecast timeline, the industry is expected to thrive due to an increase in the number of product launches. For instance, the FDA approved cefiderocol (FETROJA) in November 2019 for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), including pyelonephritis, caused by susceptible Gram-negative microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Entero. This will provide beneficial opportunities for the urinary pH modifiers? market growth.

• Rising number of mergers and acquisitions

The market is expected to rise in the next years as the number of mergers and acquisitions increases. For illustration, AbbVie Inc. agreed to pay USD 63 billion for competitor manufacturer, Allergan Plc in June 2019, the latest acquisition in an industry where some of the top businesses have been willing to pay a high premium to answer doubts about their future prospects. Due to the merger of these two firms, the product line comprising of pharmaceuticals for the treatment of genitourinary illnesses would gain a larger distribution channel, which will benefit market growth throughout the forecast period.

Moreover, rising investment for the development of advanced technologies and increase in the number of emerging markets will further provide beneficial opportunities for the urinary pH modifiers? market growth during the forecast period.

Restraints/Challenges

On the other hand, high cost associated with drug development and distribution will obstruct the market’s growth rate. The dearth of skilled professionals and lack of healthcare infrastructure in developing economies will challenge the urinary pH modifiers? market. Additionally, surging number of counterfeit drugs and lack of awareness among people about the infection as well as drugs will act as market restrain and further impede the growth rate of market during the forecast period of 2022-2029.

COVID-19 Impact on Urinary pH Modifiers Market

The unusual rise in coronavirus-infected patients hampered access to other primary care services and led in a large decline in diagnoses other than COVID-19, such as genitourinary tract infection. Coronaviruses can induce urological symptoms when they infect the genitourinary system, according to a research published in the Asian Journal of Urology in July 2021. COVID-19 is the cause of genitourinary organ damage and dysfunction. Several investigations have discovered that COVID-19 patients had kidney damage. Furthermore, COVID-19 infection poses the greatest harm to the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems, as per a study released in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health in April 2020.  COVID-19 has a considerable impact on the genitourinary market. However, as a consequence of high demand for COVID-19 vaccines and treatment medications, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are expected to increase significantly in the next years.
